Lightweight Style for VB3.8.7 iPhone/Mobile/Cell/PDA

A few have asked for this, hope you like it.

As the title suggests, this is a lightweight style for vBulletin 3.8.7 (and probably most versions before that - A quick test showed it also working under vBulletin 3.7.7!)

It's lightweight (low bandwidth) and works well on most handheld / mobile devices. Some have been know to use it on their desktops and I personally use it for Google as a way of significantly reducing the bandwidth they use.

I would like to add borders around thread listings. Can anyone please tell me how to accomplish this? It would be highly appreciated.

Posting to remind myself to look at this.

Hey dartho!

Thanks for this! We are currently testing at The UNIX and Linux Forums. We dropped the vB Mobile suite app and may just go with this skin. Thanks again!

BBCODE tags are critical for our site; but we can't get the scroll bar (horizontal scrolling across bottom) to work on mobile phones (it works find on a desktop).

Any idea?

[imported_silkroad]

Ah Ha!

I see that scrollbars are not currently supported on native iPhone and Android browsers!

The suggested "work arounds" are to use jQuery, for example see:

awsome template but I have a few questions. my site is located @ .com/vb but if you go to .com it goes to the vBadvanced CMPS with my default style is there a fix or work around? i wish there was a way to force anyone that went to .com to redirect to .com/vb.
also is there a way to remove the default style tab becuse It wont work with your mobile detect app unless there is a work around for that too
Thankyou
